Derivative of log((x-2)/(x+2))

1. Let $u = \frac{x - 2}{x + 2}$.

2. The derivative of $\log{\left(u \right)}$ is $\frac{1}{u}$.

3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{x - 2}{x + 2}$:

   1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

      $$\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$$

      $f{\left(x \right)} = x - 2$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = x + 2$.

      To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$:

      1. Differentiate $x - 2$ term by term:

         1. The derivative of the constant $-2$ is zero.

         2. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$

         The result is: $1$

      To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$:

      1. Differentiate $x + 2$ term by term:

         1. The derivative of the constant $2$ is zero.

         2. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$

         The result is: $1$

      Now plug in to the quotient rule:

      $\frac{4}{\left(x + 2\right)^{2}}$

   The result of the chain rule is:

   $$\frac{4 \left(x + 2\right)}{\left(x - 2\right) \left(x + 2\right)^{2}}$$

4. Now simplify:

   $$\frac{4}{x^{2} - 4}$$

The answer is:

$$\frac{4}{x^{2} - 4}$$
